In a sad turn of events, esteemed Chef Lisa Delacroix had spent her entire career painstakingly crafting a cookbook of her all-time favorite recipes, only for it to be utilized as a rolling tray by a 25-year-old woman living in Brooklyn, NY.
Delacroix, a seasoned expert in French gastronomy, poured her heart and soul into a collection of recipes that could only be described as culinary masterpieces. Her magnum opus, “Cuisine à la Crème: A Symphony of Flavors,” was intended to inspire home cooks and ignite a passion for haute cuisine, but she had no idea that someday it would be used to catch excess weed from a $25 eighth.
“‘Cuisine à la Crème’ definitely had the most grueling process out of all of my collections,” Delacroix said. “I spent countless years getting my recipes just right, putting my upbringing, personality, technique, and style in each and every one. It was a labor of love though, fortunately.”
However, fate had something entirely different in store for this talented chef.
“I was just sitting there, in desperate need of a flat surface to roll a joint on,” 25-year-old graphic designer Maya Anderson told reporters. “And then I saw it—the cookbook I hadn’t used since I bought it four years ago. I suddenly realized that it’s true purpose wasn’t for learning recipes that would leave me and my guests speechless after tasting the genius combinations of flavors inside, it was for me to roll a big fat J on! Duh!”
Despite Anderson going against Chef Delacroix’s hopes and dreams for the use of her cookbook, which was featured on the New York Times Best Seller list, Anderson has still used the book in a number of different ways that have significantly improved her life.
“It’s not only a fantastic rolling tray,” she told reporters. “It’s also perfect for putting on my coffee table, keeping my window slightly ajar, and killing roaches in my apartment! I honestly can’t imagine my life without it—it’s so big and heavy!”
At press time, Maya Anderson had put ‘Cuisine à la Crème’ back on her shelf in favor of a new, and reportedly better, rolling tray: the 1296-page literary classic, War and Peace.
